Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises of night-time closures of State Highway 25.
SH25 Kūaotunu – 4 nights
From Monday 8 May to Thursday 11 May, SH25 will close overnight from 8pm until 11pm and again from midnight to 5am for four nights.
Traffic will be allowed through the site between 11pm and midnight each night.
Emergency service vehicles can be given access at any time.
The closure is from Waitaia Road to the north end of Wharekaho settlement (Simpsons Beach).
The closure is required to carry out geotech drilling, to help inform permanent repairs following storm damage earlier this year.
SH25 Kereta Hill – 3 nights
From Sunday 14 May to Tuesday 16 May, SH25 will close overnight between from 8pm until 11pm and from midnight until 5am for three nights.
Traffic will be allowed through the site between 11pm and midnight each night.
Emergency service vehicles can be given access at any time.
The closure is from 1090 Thames Coast rd (flat area before Kereta Hill) – through to 713 Manaia Rd (Ohoni Stream bridge).
This is the rescheduling of previously advised resealing work, which was delayed due to wet weather.
There will be no daytime closures required due to a change in methodology. The work will now focus on repairs that require the most immediate attention, with the remainder rescheduled for later in the year when the temperatures are warmer.
